The Vogel Challenge 2021 has begun. In 2020 I have "snapped" 179 bird species despite Corona. Now I hope for a successful new bird year.
For years, I've been asked to do pictures of me as comic book women, so I've done some online research to find out who they are and what they look like. Then I put together costumes to get their look as close as I can. Usually, it takes a good bit of photo editing. Making their look and building sets or finding good locations is a fun process. Thanks to the people who have suggested who they would like me to appear as. I have more in the works. If you have any suggestions, please drop me a line.

Compositionally Challenged Week 20 - Active Space
After looking in my bird books, I think this is a Swainson's Hawk.
We watched the hawk for several minutes while it moved from one branch to another before it took flight carrying a piece of bark.
Some weeks ago I rendted myself a perfect little spot on It All Starts With A Smile
8 different houses, fully decorated but all perfect in their own league.
Not only a perfect place to live but also a great place to visit, to hang out with friends and take pictures.

Weekly Theme Challenge ~ Tree/Trees
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
A few weeks back our camera club had an outing to Canary Wharf in east London to photograph a 'winter lights' display, a selection of light displays scattered around Canary Wharf (some of them very good) that got underway once it got dark.
The meet up was at 5:30 pm but I decided to make my way there beforehand and so arrived in the early afternoon for what I hoped would be some long exposure photography. That didn't really turn out too well to be honest but I am forever the architectural enthusiast and so I set about shooting some of the architecture around the estate with a wide angle lens.
One of the compositions I saw in my mind's eye almost immediately was this one with all the vertical shapes in the frame. And for once, in a winter that has been as dull and gloomy as I can remember here in the UK, for once it was sunny and gloriously bright. The whole world seems lit up when the sun shines, our moods become more open and people linger in sunny spaces where otherwise they would slink back to their offices and places of work. It was just lovely to be out with a camera.
This was not a long exposure as you can probably see but the water was still and the reflections on it were clear. It's March as of tomorrow and I'm really starting to imagine we'll soon be getting more of this kind of weather... please!

It's mainly very expensive clothes for people who spend summer holidays on boats. With summer over, I don't think there will be many customers. There was only one boat left in the harbour after I saw the last three sailboats leave. The canal will now be closed until next summer.
Saturday Self-challenge - numbers
for Monday Photo Challenge and Thursday Retread Group.
this week's challenge....."apples or anything made with or having to do with an apple or some sort of autumn fruit"
to view other photos in the group:
I composed this image in response to a self-imposed photography challenge: create an interesting image of a door, or doors. In accomplishing this, I sought to construct a photograph that was open (pardon the pun) to interpretation.
When there are many problems and responsibilities in life, when you cannot feel free, then you challenge yourself and your destiny.
Когда в жизни множество проблем и обязанностей, когда ты не можешь почуствовать себя свободным, тогда ты бросаешь вызов самому себе и своей судьбе.
THEME : Reflection with water
Very difficult theme this week, especially when you have no river, no lake in the surroundings, and when the weather is dry! Took a crystal glass full of water and put it under my geraniums on the balcony. This makes a kind of abstract lol !!
When this day began, I was comfortably trapped in my chic little Icelandic hotel cabin by snow drifts covering the door that were over five feet high. I heard some scrapping noises and peered out the window next to the door. The ever cheerful English guy in the bright red parka grinned back at me with his infectious smile. With a loud "good morning, Anne!", he waved the tiny shovel that he'd purchased at the Iceland version of the convenience store just the day before in the 'remote' chance that we might be snowed in at some point in the trip. Within time, I was freed into the wildly blowing subzero winds.
Our destination was Reynisfjara, one of the most beautiful and yet dangerous beaches in Iceland. I had seen the videos showing tourists trapped in terrifying sneaker waves on this beach and so I was careful not to get caught in one myself. We had not been so lucky a few days earlier at the beach in Vik which managed to swamp us with a rogue wave of freezing water - despite our best efforts to keep an eye out.
The temperatures this day were so far below freezing that it didn't matter what the number was -it was just bitterly cold. The winds were so strong that I felt that I was pushing against a wall just to walk forward. I took off in an opposite direction from my friends to find a different point of view. Hiking up to this overlook, I found a little shelter from the wind and I was able to set up my tripod and catch this scene just as the morning sun began to light up a bit. The sea looks almost benign in this image but believe me, it was very rough and thunderously loud as the crashing waves landed on the obsidian sands and rocks.
I know that I had a huge smile on my face that morning. I'm smiling right now just thinking about how good it feels to be in places like this which challenge us to thrive in adverse conditions. On this International Women's Day, don't give me a pair of fancy designer shoes, but give me more days like this one.
